58 DERBYSHIRE FONTS. 



Of the art of the short period of Transition, from late 

 Norman times to the days in which the Early English style 

 had fully asserted the power, there are but two specimens of 

 fonts. These are at Winster and Fenny Bentley. The true 

 Early English has admirable examples in Ashbourne, Norbury, 

 Bradley, Kniveton, Dnveridge, and especially in Norton, neai 

 Sheffield. I hope to describe and illustrate these in the 

 Journal of next year, afterwards passing on to those of the 

 Decorated and Perpendicular periods. 



Note. — Somersall Herbert. The Rev. R. FitzHerbert kindly 

 reminds me that in the band of ornament round the top of this 

 font there is a space of about two feet six inches, in which 

 four of the rings I have described are omitted.
